The bottom line of Time-Space-Existence is humanity in architecture.
– Fumihiko Maki.
Rather than focus on creating things that have never been seen or done before, Maki notes that his team focuses on human behavior: what users may like or not like. More specifically, Maki discusses the similarity and differences between children's behavior across cultures and how they can inform design.
